Describing herself as a “moderate drinker,” Garraway said: “I thought, I don’t really drink that much. But when you stop completely it is a shocker. You realise that a glass here, going to a function there, they all tot up.

“I have been really shocked by people’s reactions. I think we have a problem with how we treat people and alcohol.

“If you said: ‘I’m giving up smoking’, people would put on a parade. If you said: ‘I’m going to eat more healthily’, people would say: ‘Good for you.’

“If it’s drinking, the first reaction is: ‘That’s so boring. You’re going to be so boring.'”
